O, also population explosion.

When were the flyover states forested? Every book I have read said that it was like a sea of grass - almost no trees. Early settlers lived in sod homes - not log cabins because there were no trees.

Oh you are one of those. There is no talking to you about it because of the closed .ind syndrome.

You just need to use your common sense when dealing with the heat. Put reasonable limits on outdoor activities. Limit direct sun exposure. Use your sunscreen. Drink PLENTY of fluids. And yeah, while a cold beer when you're hot sure tastes good, it is not the kind of liquid your body wants! Listen to your body...it will tell you when you are getting near your limit.

All that said, I will take the four months of hot & steamy weather here, and enjoy the other 8 months of picture perfect weather.

It helps your post to make sense if you let us in on who you are referring to.

If you were referring to me, that is absolutely wrong. I am open to discuss anything. But a driveway snarky post with nothing to back it up is not discussion.

Good advice except for one point. Your body will NOT tell you that you are thirsty until it is too late. When you are out and it is hot you need to hydrate BEFORE your body telling you that you are thirsty.

Isn't this something we all expect every year in July and August nationwide?

I don't like to hear about the heat related fires that is taking place out west, but I need to say.

We Floridians experience 90+ degree days for months on end and we don't make the news....

Maybe people just have to use a little common sense in the heat.

It’s the media!

It is summer. Always warm. Winter. Always cold.

Yep. Follow the money.

What do we think generates more hits, views and clicks? Stories about families frolicking on the beach on a hot July day, or people dying of the heat?

Answer? $$$$$

Phoenix normally has temps over 100 for more than a month each summer. This year they are breaking records. With temps over 100 people die from exposure. England experienced over 1000 deaths from heat so far this summer.

Yeah, all they need is common sense... ahem.

Only 5% of houses in England have air conditioning.

Wait a few months, then they will be crying it's too cold.....
